I'm using 16 bit data base (mostly going from Wesley's
IDE Interface, w/o the 8255 and inverters).  I figured
that since I won't be accessing the IDE drive and the
RAM at the same time, I could share the 16 datalines
and some of the control lines (by holding the IDE in
RESET) to do addressing and data transfers to the RAM.
 This won't work?

Cheers
